Cucumber Sandwiches with Carrot Macadamia Nut Spread

Cucumber Sandwiches 

with Carrot Macadamia Nut Spread

Let's start with an appetizer, shall we? These crunchy, hydrating, tempting treats are crisp and cool for hot days, with a sweet side coming from the carrot-macadamia spread. 

Now that you are anticipating the deliciousness of these sandwiches, here's how I made them:

For the spread:

2 cups raw macadamias 

2-3 shredded organic carrots

Vanilla (alcohol-free) to taste, optional

Pure water, to thin 

In a food processor or Vitamix, blend the nuts and carrots, adding water gradually until desired consistency is reached. Add drops of vanilla, if you like. 

This makes more than two cups of spread. Use it as filling to slices of organic, peeled cucumbers to make the sandwiches as shown, or as filling to celery sticks, or as a dip to any vegetable. 

Now enjoy this charming, classic appetizer with a new twist!
